Rain Gutter Cleaning Start-Up

You have to complete the equipment and supplies you need for the business. Make sure you acquire them, either by buying or just renting them. You will need a power washer to spray the gutters until they are cleaned. You also need a ladder to reach the gutters. Include in your inventory trash bags which will contain the debris that fall from the gutter. For your protection, you should have a pair of working gloves. Better to buy the one that is washable than disposable. This will help you save more operating capital.

Do your business during the day so that lighting would not be a problem. If the customer would want to have it done during late afternoon or night, you can charge them extra for giving extra effort to finish the job.

Advertise your existence. You may start within your neighborhood first. Visit one house and another and check their gutter. If you find it dirty, tell them that you are actually in the gutter cleaning business and you can clean it for them. A good advertisement also comes from testimonials of satisfied past customers.

If business does well and more clients are calling for your service, you might want to expand business and take a partner or hire workers. Hiring workers would cost you some money but it would be worth it.
